Poisonous Drinking Water Mt Paris.

that the water with which he himself is fur

the stern reality. Owing to the drains which

A PLOT DISCOVERED.
A Conspiracy to Prevent the
Execution.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Fred Horst and
Emil Wende, two well known anarch-
lists, were before Justice Lyon this
morning, the former charged with
conspiracy and carrying concealed
weapons aud the latter with con-
spiracy alone. The cases were CON.
tinucd until the 10th inst. in bonds of
$4,000 aud $1,000 respectively, in de-
fault of which they were locked up.
Horst and Weude are members OF the
regular aliarchist grounrwhichS mum.
bers ,nirty-six members. II was re-
solved by the group to purchase arms
aud Horst was instructed to purchase
revolvers for his associates, and he and
Wcnde proceeded down town to
purchase the pistols. The group had
been suspected Tor some time. and
while the meeting was in progress an
officer was hiding in the room and
heard the whole affair. A watch was
placed on the two men, and when
they attempted to purchase weapons
they were arrested. Frederick Horst
as arrested Saturday night by De-
tective Schuttler, in the vicinity of
Claiborne avenue and Division street.
At the time of his arrest Horst had on
his person four 3S-caliber double.
action revolvers of cheap pattern.
These weapons were for delivery to
Emil Wende, who in turn was 10 dis
tribute the weapons to persons already
selected. Wende was arrested short
time afterward and both were detained
at the central station, and Lieut..
Steele says the department has enough
evidence to convict these two men and

number of others OF conspiracy.
For two years the anarchists and So
cialists have made headquarters in tho
northwest portion Of North Side, and
special attention has been given by
the police to that section since the de-
ciuion of the supreme court at Of
tawa. Many of the men Indicted fer
the Haymarket massacre, but never
brought to trial, live and work in that
section. While to outward appear
ances they seem to have avoided their
old haunts, they have secretly been
taking an interest in the promulga-
tion of their old-time doctrihes. The
police have had spies among them,
and as soon.as they bassA their de-
tailed plotting last week number of
them were taken in by detectives.

The Chicago Vote.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The most sgnifi-
cant feature Of yesterdays elections
in Chicago was the result of the con-
test for Superior Court Judgeship
against Judge Joseph L. Gary. The
magistrate who tried the anarchists
was pit ed against Capt w. S. Black,
the attorney most prominent in de-
fence of the anarchists. The friends
of the anarchists hoped that large
vote for Black would reflect public
sentiment favorable to the committing g
of tue sentences, but the result of the
election is bitter disappointment to
them. The total vote cast in Cook
county was 68,342, of which Joseph e
Gar, Republican and Democrat, re-
ceived 56,OS4 and Capt. Black, Social
ist, 625s. Gary's majority is 1896
Joel. M. Longnecker, Republican can
didate for States attorney, was elect
ed by majority of 1876 votes over
all opposing candidates. All Republi-
can candidates for county commits
sioners were elected. The PROPOSE
ton to issue $1,00O,0OO county bonds
and the jury commission were ap-
proved by fair majorities.
